Confirm that 2.6.28-11.42 had the problem. I was able to reproduce the issue 5 or more times by issuing 'rm -fr dirname' on an 80gb directory hierarchy of files up to 5gb each. The system soft locked just like the reported bug symptoms. Booting 2.6.30-020630rc4 resolves the issue for me and 'rm -fr dirname' completed successfully.
